Abstract:

We examine the nexus between land transfers and human capital formation. A sequence of land redistributions enables the beneficiaries to educate their children and thus to escape from poverty. A successful land reform allows the transition of a society from an agriculture-based state of poverty to a human capital–based developed economy. We find that a temporary state of inequality among the poor is unavoidable. Finally, we discuss the political economy of land reform, whether access to land markets should be allowed for beneficiaries of land reforms, and property rights issues.

Abstract:

Abstract Objectives Older adults are commonly affected by cancer and diabetes, and an investigation of the economic burden faced by these older adults remains a research gap. Therefore, the objective was to assess the economic burden of diabetes among Medicare beneficiaries with cancer by analyzing annual costs from administrative claims data. Methods We conducted a retrospective, serial cross-sectional study using the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) from 2006 to 2012. Eligible beneficiaries must be currently or previously diagnosed with cancer (of any type), ≥65 years of age, non-institutionalized and continuously enrolled annually in Medicare Parts A, B and D. Diagnoses of cancer and diabetes were determined through self-report or claims. The primary outcome was the total economic burden of diabetes per capita annually, operationalized as the difference in total direct costs between cancer patients with and without diabetes. Simple linear regression was used to analyze trends of costs across the years. Multivariable regression estimated the effect of diabetes and covariates on total annual spending among beneficiaries with cancer from 2006–2012. Key findings From 2006 to 2012, 4918 beneficiaries included in MCBS had cancer, with over 25% (1275) also having diabetes. From 2006 to 2012, the mean economic burden of diabetes was $7815 per capita annually. After adjusting for covariates, beginning in 2006, diagnosis of diabetes significantly predicted higher total annual spending among cancer beneficiaries in 2007 [coefficient (SE) = 0.5768 (0.1918), P = 0.003], 2011 [coefficient (SE) = 0.4303 (0.1817), P = 0.018] and 2012 [coefficient (SE) = 0.3605 (0.1758), P = 0.040]. Conclusions Medicare beneficiaries with cancer experienced a higher economic burden from concurrent diabetes.

Abstract:

In India around 60% of the population depends on agriculture sector. Agriculture sector contributes 18% to India's GDP. Crop failure due to natural calamities and unfavorable climatic conditions puts farmers in a challenging situation. Thus it is necessary to safeguard the farm sector from various production risks. Therefore on 1st April 2016 GOI implemented Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana. Personal profile of the farmers plays a crucial role in avail the benefits of this scheme. Based on preliminary survey eleven villages from Jambusar taluka of Bharuch district was selected based on the number of beneficiaries. Proportionate random sampling method was for the selection of 62 beneficiaries and 62 non beneficiaries from same village were selected for the study and it make 124 sample sizes. From the statistical analysis it was identified that majority beneficiaries and non beneficiaries belonged to middle aged group, educated up to secondary level, medium annual income. Majority part of the beneficiaries and non beneficiaries had medium land holding with moderate experience in farming, membership in more than one organization. Moderate mass media exposure, extension contact, risk orientation and economic motivation. Majority of beneficiaries and non beneficiaries occasionally use the source of information.

Abstract:

he medicinal and aromatic plants sector is considered a very important sector for the economy of Kosovo since it can provide employment, income, and export growth. Based on this, we assess the impact of the subsidy schemes from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Rural Development (MAFRD) using a propensity score matching improving the farmers' gross income. The main purpose of the study was to assess whether subsidy schemes have an impact on the farmer's gross income by using a propensity score matching model to match beneficiaries to non-beneficiaries. Results showed that beneficiaries of subsidy schemes make 3,682.09 Euros more per year than non-beneficiaries (95% confidence interval 2,349.9 Euros to 5,012.90 Euros). Using logistic regression, we found that subsidy schemes, market prices, and reductions of unfair competition are the three most important factors affecting farmers' decisions to collect and cultivate MAPs.

Abstract:

This study aims to measure the impact of an intervention, the Community Investment Fund (CIF), on the socio-economic life of rural women. CIF is a community-managed fund aimed at improving the living standards of women by empowering them to undertake income-generating projects to become financially more stable and self-governed in the Khairpur, Shikarpur, Kandhkot-Kashmore and Jacobabad districts of Sindh, Pakistan. This study used a quasi-experimental design approach that involved two groups, i.e., the treatment group (beneficiaries) and control group (non-beneficiaries). The sample size of this study was 708 respondents including the treatment and control group. The results of comparison of mean indicate that there is a significant difference between treatment and control group in terms of socio-demographic variables (including monthly income and consumption, saving amount, total asset value, an asset purchased value and household diet) and women empowerment’s indicators, thereby suggesting that CIF has resulted in women empowerment. Concerning the results of the poverty scorecard, the higher graduation of beneficiaries (treatment group) asserts that the intervention of CIF has also a positive impact on targeted beneficiaries. In particular, the findings indicate that 72% of beneficiaries (treatment group) have graduated from one poverty band to another higher band compared to 59.4% of non-beneficiaries (control group) in poverty score. In addition, the findings of the logistic regression analysis confirmed that participation in the CIF program empowers women beneficiaries. This study will support policymakers to further improve CIF so that it can become more effective and sustainable.

Abstract:

Background Children and youth are profoundly impacted groups in Zambia’s HIV epidemic. To evaluate delivery of integrated psychosocial, economic strengthening, and clinical services to HIV-affected households through the Zambia Family (ZAMFAM) Project, a prospective cohort study compared socio-economic, psychosocial, and health outcomes among ZAMFAM beneficiaries to non-beneficiaries. Methods In July–October 2017, 544 adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) aged 5–17 years and their adult caregivers were recruited from Central (ZAMFAM implementation sites) and Eastern (non-intervention sites) Provinces. Structured interviews at baseline and one-year follow-up assessed household characteristics, socio-economic wellbeing, and health service utilization. Poisson regression with generalized estimating equations measured one-year changes in key health and socio-economic indicators, comparing ZAMFAM beneficiaries to non-beneficiaries. Results Overall, 494 households completed two rounds of assessment (retention rate: 91%) Among ALHIV, improvements in current antiretroviral therapy use over time (Adjusted Prevalence Rate Ratio [aPRR] = 1.06, 95% Confidence Interval [95% CI]: 1.01–1.11) and reductions in non-household labor (aPRR = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.20–0.99) were significantly larger among ZAMFAM beneficiaries than non-beneficiaries. For caregivers, receiving ZAMFAM services was associated with significant reductions in HIV-related stigma (aPRR = 0.49, 95% CI: 0.28–0.88) and perceived negative community attitudes towards HIV (aPRR = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.62–0.96). Improvements in caregiver capacity to pay for unexpected (aPRR = 1.54, 95% CI: 1.17–2.04) and food-related expenses (aPRR = 1.48, 95% CI: 1.16–1.90), as well as shared decision-making authority in household spending (aPRR = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.04–1.93) and self-reported good or very good health status (aPRR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.14–1.87), were also significantly larger among ZAMFAM beneficiaries. Conclusions Significant improvements in caregivers’ financial capacity were observed among households receiving ZAMFAM services, with few changes in health or wellbeing among ALHIV. Integrated service-delivery approaches like ZAMFAM may yield observable socio-economic improvements in the short-term. Strengthening community-based delivery of psychosocial and health support to ALHIV is encouraged.

Abstract:

Empowerment has multiple meaning and Centre different agencies define this differently from time to time to suit their purpose so its definition varies with time and in context. Empowerment is not essentially political alone; it is a process having personal, economic, social and political dimensions with personal empowerment being the core of the empowerment process. Intact, Political Empowerment will not succeed in the absents of economic empowerment. The scheme of micro financing through SHG’s create empowerment promoting conditions for women to move from positions marginalization within household decision making process and exclusion within community to one of greater centrality , inclusion of voice. Integration of women development and their empowerment are indiscernible for the development of any country. Empowerment is a process that addresses all sources and structures of power the process has to work individually and collective level. Individually poor women cannot overcome powerlessness. They can do it only collectively hence, the women have to be organized and have to acknowledge as a political force. It involves equal participation in decision making, control over resources and mechanism for sustaining this gain. Organizing women through the formation of SHG’s desire special attention. The SHG is an important mechanism for empowering women. Organizing poor women into groups not only expand options available to them for their development but also provide them with opportunities to develop their confidence and skills to improve their status and to bring about a change in the attitude of the society towards women. The performance and evolvement of the group are based on many factors including the composition of the group wrap of financing participation of members in productive activities. Any study on these performances of SHG’s without considering the economic aspects of members will reveled only half the story. In this context an attempt is made to analyze the diversified activities of the members. For these purpose data were collected directly from the selected SHG’s from different wards in the kalady gramapanchayath.

Abstract:

When designing economic policies, policy makers work with the assumption that targeted beneficiaries would respond in a manner that would lead to success of the policy. However, the responses of beneficiaries do not always follow the expected pattern. Drawing on Thaler and Sunstein’s (2008) and Asante’s (2003) theses, this paper projects the view that economic policies that fail to take account of the psychology of the target people fail. The position in this paper is based on the premises that human beings, as choice architects, are not necessarily rational beings always acting in their self-interests and that culture, traditions, and national aspirations influence the success of economic policies. It is argued that inertia (the unwillingness to move or change the status quo) is related to how individuals living in poverty respond to policies intended to alleviate their conditions. New theoretical insights are advanced and recommendations made on the basis of the exploration of the literature.

Abstract:

Abstract This research was conducted to assess the impact of Root and Tuber Expansion Programme (RTEP) in Kwara State, Nigeria. This impact was examined through a comparative study of project beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries, namely, their personal characteristics, economic characteristics and statistical difference between socio-economic characteristics of respondents. A total of one hundred and sixty (160) respondents were selected using a simple random sampling technique. These consisted of eighty (80) RTEP beneficiaries and eighty (80) Non-beneficiaries. Structured interview schedule was used to collect the data. Descriptive and inferential statistical tools such as frequency counts and percentages and t-test were used to analyse the data. The results of the analysis show that most RTEP beneficiaries (43.75 %) and non-RTEP beneficiaries (31.25 %) processors were within the age range of 41 - 50 years. RTEP beneficiaries (51.3 %) produced higher quantity of gari (a West African food made from cassava tubers) above 500 kg per month and hence higher amount of money spent in purchasing cassava tubers as compared to the non-RTEP beneficiaries (3.75 %) counterparts. Our findings further show that there were significant differences between the quantity of gari produced (t-value = 8.832 at P < 0.05) and the total monthly income (t-value = 7.475 at P < 0.05). It was concluded that the project has impacted positively on the beneficiaries through improved productivity and income generation. To reduce the high cost of purchasing cassava tubers to process into gari, this study suggests that extension agents through the RTEP programme should encourage and train gari processors to engage in cultivation of cassava.

Abstract:

Older Persons Cash Transfer (OPCT) was introduced in Kenya in 2006 to provide financial assistance to the elderly people in the country. National budget allocation for the programme as well as enrollment of new beneficiaries have consistently increased over the years but vulnerability among the elderly population still remain high. The study area is located in an arid and semi-arid region, in Kitui County, Kenya that is characterized by limited income generations activities and low food production due to unpredictable weather. The aim of this study was to assess the socio-economic impacts of Older Persons Cash Transfer (OPCT) on the beneficiaries living in Mulundi sub-Location, Kitui County, Kenya. This study adopted a cross-sectional mixed methods approach to investigate the impacts of OPCT using both quantitative and qualitative data. A census survey was applied to undertake household study for all the 113 registered OPCT beneficiaries in Mulundi sub-location. The study found that female beneficiaries were more (58%) than men (42%) where majority of female beneficiaries were widowed (53%) and 72% were in the age between 65 and 75 years old. Apart from the few elderly (21%) who had alternative sources of income, majority (79%) depended on OPCT as the main source of income for their upkeep. Most of beneficiaries used the cash to buy food (44%), and pay school fees for their dependants (30%) while others spent on health care (12%) and buying clothing (10%). Due to age limit 32% of the elderly rarely got involved in the community development activities compared to 25% who totally were never involved. Majority of the beneficiaries felt that the monthly stipend allocation to each beneficiary was not adequate to cater for most of their needs. In line with that opinion, majority of the beneficiaries (57%) were not satisfied with the programme. This study established several challenges hindering realization of socio-economic impacts of cash transfer in the study area which included; inadequate and irregular disbursement of grants, management challenges, lack of clear channel for the beneficiaries to express their grievances and complaints, increased cost of living, and lack of transparency in the programme. This study recommends that appropriate measures should be put to investigate on the challenges to enhance management so that socio-economic benefits of the programme can be achieved.

This study included AIS patients aged ≥20 years who were hospitalized in a general hospital or tertiary hospital for ≥4 days and underwent brain imaging during the same period. Study participants were classified by sex, economic status (Medical Aid beneficiaries and National Health Insurance beneficiaries) and age (20–44, 45–64, 65–79, and ≥80 years). Women showed a significantly lower OR (Odds ratio) than men in IVT (OR: 0.75; 95% CI: 0.73–0.77), EVT (OR: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.93–0.99), and any therapy (OR: 0.82; 95% CI: 0.80–0.84). The Medical Aid beneficiaries showed significantly lower OR in IVT (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.88–0.95), EVT (OR 0.93, 95% CI 0.89–0.98), and either therapy (OR 0.92, 95% CI 0.90–0.95) than the National Health Insurance beneficiaries. This study showed sex and economic disparity related to reperfusion therapies in patients with AIS in Korea.

Abstract:

This study investigates whether self-employed beneficiaries experience greater difficulties in accessing dental care than insured employees based on their income level. This analysis uses 2011–2015 data from the Korea Health Panel, a population-based and nationally representative sample, covering 7083 participants aged 18 years and older. We measured barriers to dental access based on unmet needs or the inability to receive necessary dental care owing to the past year’s economic burdens. The type of health insurance and household income are considered independent variables. We applied multiple panel logistic regressions and two-panel logistic regression models with a fixed-effects approach to analyze the data. Self-employed beneficiaries were 1.16 times (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.08–1.24) more likely to experience unmet dental needs than were insured employees. Insured employees and self-employed beneficiaries belonging to the lowest income bracket were 1.76 times (95% CI = 1.53–2.03) and 2.33 times (95% CI = 1.89–2.87) more likely to have unmet needs than those in the highest income bracket. Self-employed beneficiaries were 1.31 times (95% CI = 1.21–1.43) more likely to experience unmet dental needs caused by economic burdens than are insured employees. Insured employees of the lowest income quintile were 4.15 times (95% CI = 3.41–5.05) more likely to experience unmet needs caused by economic burdens, while the odds ratio for self-employed beneficiaries was 5.47 (95% CI = 4.05–7.39). Our findings indicate gaps in unmet dental needs between self-employed beneficiaries and insured employees. The government should adopt strategies to reduce unmet needs among marginalized groups and redefine the role of national health insurance.

Abstract:

The study was taken in Srinivaspura taluk, Kolar district of Karnataka to analyse the economic benefits derived by watershed beneficiaries of Yeldur nala sub watershed project implemented under Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayi Yojana-Watershed Development (PMKSY-WD). Primary data of the research was gathered from randomly selected 60 farmers from the project area which includes 30 watershed beneficiaries and 30 non-beneficiaries. Data collected was analysed using Simpson’s index, Cost and Returns analysis and Garret’s ranking. Higher crop diversity was found among beneficiaries of watershed project with Simpson’s index value of 0.85 compared to non-watershed farmers(0.77). Production, productivity and net returns of the major crops were observed higher in watershed area than in Non- watershed area. Annual income per farm was also found higher inwatershed area with Rs. 2.84 lakh acre-1 than in Non- watershed area (Rs.1.70 lakh acre-1).Lack of awareness about benefits of watershed technology among the beneficiary farmers and poor participation by the farmers during training programmes conducted by the implementing agencies were the major constraints faced during the implementation of watershed projects. Results have sufficiently indicated that the watershed activities benefited farmers by enhancing their yield, net returns and overall income. Majority of sample farmers maintained farm pond when compared to trench cum bund as weed growth on these bunds was a major problem. It was also found that formation of watershed area farmers’ associations is necessary for the maintenance of soil and water conservation structures by watershed area development department.

Abstract:

Development must not only focus on economic growth expressed in rosy figures of GDP and GNP. The economic gains of the rich as expected by economists, must “trickle down” down to the grass roots. It is along this reality that prompted the national government and development planners to look for strategy in which the marginalized which constitute the biggest number of the population in the Third World countries become recipients of development initiatives. Northern Samar, one of the poorest provinces in the Philippines, has been a recipient of the Help for Catubig Agricultural Advancement Project (HCAPP), a project of 5.2 billion yen or 3.4 billion in pesos allocating 2.4 billion pesos alone to irrigate 4, 550 hectares of agricultural lands to spur agricultural development in the Catubig Valley area of Northern Samar. This research aimed to determine the level of socio-economic impact of the HCAAP and related problems. The areas covered by the HCAAP were the Municipalities of Catubig and Las Navas both located in the Catubig Valley. A descriptive-evaluative study, utilized quantitative techniques like survey employing interview schedule for data collection and analyses. The respondents were beneficiaries from Municipality of Catubig, and Las Navas. Purposive and stratified sampling was used in selecting barangays and respondent-beneficiaries respectively. It was found out that the income of the beneficiaries is still low since they have availed or accessed to HCAAP services and facilities and do not suffice to meet the economic needs of most of the respondent-beneficiaries, nor send their children to tertiary education so they have to resort to other occupation. The respondents’ level of living also has not improved. Main problem encountered by the respondents were the non-completion of other two dams, main canals, and lateral canals. It was concluded that irrigation component is much beneficial to land owners than farmers, farm-to-market roads only converted lands from agricultural to commercial and residential, and other project’s sub-components have to be totally completed to serve the beneficiaries of the services and facilities it will offer. Hence, it is recommended that the implementing agencies should push for the completion of the project to benefit the larger remaining service areas.

Abstract:

Do Medicaid expansions to working-age adults affect healthcare spending and utilization among older Medicare beneficiaries? Although economic theory provides conflicting predictions about the presence and direction of such spillover effects, it does identify circumstances when spillovers can reduce Medicare spending. Using data on Medicaid expansions during the 2000s and microdata from the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey, we find that a 1 percentage point rise in the share of working-age adults eligible for Medicaid has modest effects on the average Medicare beneficiary's spending, but reduces average spending by $477 among dual eligibles. Importantly, we find no evidence of adverse health effects. (JEL G22, H75, I12, I13, I18, I38, J14)

Abstract:

En esta investigación se estudian algunas alteraciones generadas por el Programa “Familias en Acción” en la racionalidad económica de beneficiarios de este subsidio en la ciudad de San Juan de Pasto, Nariño, Colombia. Se parte de los postulados de la Economía del Comportamiento y de la metodología propuesta por la Economía Experimental. Mediante una plataforma de simulación, en el marco de un diseño cuasi-experimental, se analiza el comportamiento de los sujetos frente al consumo de bienes suntuarios, decisiones de ahorro e inversión y la búsqueda de un trabajo remunerado. Los hallazgos señalan que la recepción del subsidio otorgado por el programa no genera alteraciones significativas en las decisiones de ahorro, inversión y búsqueda de un empleo remunerado de los beneficiarios, sin embargo, se presenta un aumento en el consumo de bienes suntuarios, esta variación es mayor en la población que ha recibido el subsidio durante un período prolongado de tiempo, por lo cual podría afirmarse que un programa de transferencias condicionadas que se perpetúa durante mucho tiempo, genera hábitos de comportamiento en los beneficiarios contrarios a los esperados por la política. ABSTRACTThis current research studies some alterations generated by the program “Families in Action” on economic rationality of beneficiaries of this subsidy in the city of San Juan de Pasto, Nariño, Colombia. It starts the candidates’ Behavioral Economics and the methodology proposed by the Experimental Economics. Through a simulation platform, as part of a quasi-experimental design, the behavior of the subjects is analyzed by viewing the consume of sumptuary properties, saving and investment decisions and the search of a well-paid job. The findings indicate that the reception of the subsidy from the program does not generate significant changes in the decisions of beneficiaries about savings, investment and seeking gainful employment, however, an increase in the consumption of luxury goods is presented, this variation is higher in the population that has received the subsidy for an extended period of time, so it could be argued that a conditional cash transfer program that is perpetuated long, generates behavioral habits beneficiaries different from those expected by politics.

Longitudinal administrative data show that rejected male applicants to the Disability Insurance (DI) program who are younger or have low-mortality impairments such as back pain and mental health problems exhibit substantial labor force attachment. While we confirm that employment rates of older rejected applicants are low, continued high numbers of younger and low-mortality beneficiaries have raised the potential employment of DI beneficiaries. Three findings support economic inducement to apply. Mean preapplication earnings have fallen, rejected applicants experience preapplication declines in earnings, and beneficiaries whose first applications were rejected at the DDS level but who ultimately received benefits exhibit substantial employment.

The research objective is to describe the input, process, and output in entrepreneurship for beneficiaries through BUMDes. Data collection methods used are through interviews, observation, and documentation studies. The results showed that the entrepreneurship development of beneficiaries through BUMDes can be seen from the input (environmental factors, individuals, organizations), process (alignment of resources), and output (organizational, individual, and community benefits), the three of which are a series that are inseparable from one another. This research brings the benefit that the presence of KPM PKH has made BUMDes a pillar of economic activity in the village that can function as a social or commercial institution. Entrepreneurship development for KPM PKH through BUMDes has created KPM PKH entrepreneurs in the future. BUMDes is expected to be able to increase community efforts in managing the economic potential of the Village.

Abstract:

During 2021-22, the beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of the farm pond on-demand initiative in Maharashtra’s Vidarbha and Marathwada regions were analysed and identified the constraints associated with farm pond adoption. Through focus group discussions, observations, and semi-structured interviews with 160 beneficiaries and 160 non beneficiaries of the farm pond programme, quantitative and qualitative data were gathered. The adoption and discontinuation of agricultural ponds were analysed using the rank-based quotient (RBQ) approach to find barriers and contributing variables. After consulting with subject matter experts, reading pertinent literature, and having a conversation with respondents, a list of constraints divided into four major categories-technical, economic, ecological, and personal constraints-and the perceived significant reason for the discontinuation of the farm pond was noted. Results revealed that the economic constraints were considered the most serious ones, with a mean RBQ value of 88.85. Followed by technological (78.25), ecological (61.82) and personal constraints (58.18). Draining the bore well or well to store water in the farm pond was considered as the most serious perceived reason to discontinue the farm pond with an RBQ value of 44.94, followed by a less productive period of farm pond reported by the respondents with RBQ values 40.38.

Abstract:

PurposeThis study aims to assess the effects of microfinance institution (MFI) services on the productivity of family farms in Cameroon, in the region of Mbam and Kim. It will be a question, therefore, of determining the level and determiners of the outputs of family farms, in particular those concerned by the cultures of cocoa, beneficiaries of the agricultural services of MFIs.Design/methodology/approachThe authors use the Blinder (1973) and Oaxaca (1973) model of decomposition of the productivity differential between beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of agricultural credits on a sample of 130 cocoa farming households and four MFIs of the same area between 2008 and 2011.FindingsThe yield gap between beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of agricultural credits is estimated at 0.19 tons per hectare. This gap is explained positively by the financial aid variable, the farm size variable, which is significant in the explanation of the beneficiaries' level of returns and the constant term. On the other hand, all the socio-economic variables of the farmers contribute to reduce this gap of productivity.Research limitations/implicationsThis financial assistance from CVECA is essential to increase agricultural yields because it helps to cancel out some structural barriers. However, as this improvement in yields is only possible for large farms, the services of the MFIs would rather favor extensification policies. Nevertheless, the study results are limited by the negative effects of the socio-economic characteristics of the farmers on these yields, the study having been revealed without any selectivity bias.Originality/valueThis study seeks to reverse the trend that in rural areas, MFIs are financing agriculture to increase extensification rather than enhancing intensification in sub-Saharan Africa by challenging the role of MFI services in intensification.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine the effects of socio-economic factors of land redistribution for agricultural development project beneficiaries on savings in the North West Province, South Africa. Design/methodology/approach A binary logistic regression model was employed to determine the effects of socio-economic factors of project beneficiaries on their savings. Findings The results show that the average number of trainings attended by the beneficiaries, the proportion of youth per project and the average net farm income of the project positively and significantly influence the level of savings by the beneficiaries. About 62 percent of the beneficiaries did not have savings; thus, only 38 percent of beneficiaries had savings. Of the 38 percent who had savings, the majority (77 percent) had an annual net farm income of less than R1,000. Only 2 percent of the projects had an annual net farm income of more than R10,000. Research limitations/implications The findings of this study are valuable to policymakers dealing with the issue of land reform and could shed some light on how land redistribution can achieve its intended purposes. These findings should be granted serious consideration when formulating policies aimed at improving savings within collective groups. Practical implications The findings of this study have revealed the importance of training and participation of youth in influencing savings. As well, the findings imply that an organization or household with a health income have a higher propensity of saving. Social implications The research findings point out to the importance of saving. With savings, a household is in a better position to deal with situations that arises in case of emergency. Originality/value This paper is among the few studies to analyze the determinants of savings at a group or project level. Most studies are done at household or individual level.

Abstract:

Microfinance has been evolving to be a decisive factor in poverty reduction, rural and entrepreneurial development. This research aims to find out the impact of microfinance on rural/socio-economic development and entrepreneurial skill development. Particularly, this study attempts to explore the impact of microfinance on social development, financial empowerment, education, healthcare, economic independence, and entrepreneurial development.
